The ION

It's a new putter from Maple Valley Plastics, right here in Michigan. The outer rim has a separate plastic piece bonded to the flight plate portion, like the Odyssey by Quest. The plate is milky, soft, and has an inner edge with a textured grip. The outer piece is tacky, and grabs onto any chain. I've hit putts with it on the outside left edge low and it went in where most would keep on flying like nothing happened. It has a Voodoo-like shape and flight path for putting at least.

Apparently the outer plastic is VERY durable, so don't be worried about smaking tress or anything else with them :) These putters are getting lots of love lately, so of course I had to buy a pair to try out. I have been throwing Wizards exclusively for my putting duties, these were actually the first new putter I have tried in almost 2 years. So far I am still liking my Wizards, and I'm not sure if it's the putters fault or the fact that I am so used to putting with my Wizards that the Ion's don't "feel" right. I know one thing though, I don't like how floppy these soft runs are. I like a firmer putter as I throw SS Wizards which are actually not that soft at all, so I am going to give these one more go once the medium ones come out.

I got a second run red and black ion just over 2 months ago, I love how it feels in the hand and the flight pattern. It has become my main putter, taking place of my wizards, so i picked up a 2nd one about a month ago. Great putter!
